Well, when you're a defense attorney, many times you will be defending clients who are guily of some atrocious acts. It's one thing if they're innocent- then it could be extremelly rewarding. If only I could defend innocent people- what a world that would be! :O)
I just know that I'm not the type of person who could defend a person who is guilty of murder, rape, molestation, etc. I'm way too emotional and wouldn't be able to separate my emotions from my professional responsibilities.
This is why sometimes attorneys don't WANT to know if their client is guilty. They've been hired (or appointed by the court) to do a job, and they have to do that to the best of their abilities, regardless of how they feel about the crime and whether or not their client is guilty.
It's a tough job.
For me personally I don't wish to go into such an area. But props to those who do.
